Ch. 1
"Benson".
Olivia grabbed her keys and sprinted out the door. As she hit the cold winter air, she sprinted to her car. She didn't even notice that she had forgotten her jacket. She arrived at the scene, pushed through the sea of people who had gathered, ducked under the yellow tape, and stopped in her tracks. From 10 feet away, she could see the blonde hair sprawled out on the sidewalk, the blood gathering in a puddle. She could see the lifeless eyes staring at her, still as piercing blue as they had been the day before. "Oh, God. Please no. Please". She knelt beside the body, and ran a soft hand over the cheek of Alex Cabot. As tears streamed down her face, Olivia managed to say the three words she had been holding back for so many years. "I love you".
Olivia was jolted awake and suddenly became aware of the warm tears that were running onto her pillow. She glanced at the clock- 5:30 a.m. Still shaking from her nightmare- the third one this week, she crawled out of bed and into a warm shower. Enough is enough, Liv. Time to come clean on your feelings.
She got out of the shower, got dressed, and went to grab a cup of coffee. She hated being up this early on her day off, but she couldn't imagine going back to that nightmare. As soon as the sun rose, she pulled out her phone and sent Alex a text.
You awake?
Not even a minute later, she received a response:
Great minds think alike. I was just about to ask if you wanted breakfast.
Meet you at the usual diner? 30 minutes?
See you then, Detective.
Olivia smiled. She loved when Alex called her Detective. It was something about the way she said it that made her melt.
